We are no longer accepting inquiries for the 2025 round of The 1772 Foundation Connecticut Matching Grants for Historic Preservation. Inquiries will reopen later in 2025 for the 2026 round of funding. Join our mailing list to learn when they open. For 2025, final invited applications are due on February 15, 2025. Grants will be awarded end of April, beginning of May 2025.
This grant will not reimburse work that is already completed or in progress. Part of the Final Application process is procuring two competitive bids for the project’s scope of work. It is highly recommended to schedule a Site visit with one of PCT’s Circuit Riders to ensure a competive application that has the highest likelihood of being accepted.
